These migratory birds that travel across mountains and seas are not only nature's migrants, but also witnesses to Guangdong's ecological vitality. Let us cherish our encounters with these tiny migrants in the sky and let Guangdong's blue skies and clear waters become a peaceful haven for them to roost securely.
